Pahor, and his small team, which includes his son Luka and two PR representatives, started with a good mood and with backpacks on their backs from Hodos near Hungarian border on Tuesday afternoon, and they intend on crossing 40 kilometers every day until they reach the sea.

They plan on getting to Piran till Monday because Pahor, as it was officially announced, has official duties on Tuesday. Pahor is using his vacation for sightseeing of the Slovenian land and to meet with people from whom he expects support in the upcoming presidential elections.

Some praise him for his youthful appearance and good physical preparation, while political opponents criticize him for populism and claim that current president of Slovenia is fascinated with social networks almost as US President Donald Trump.
